The dictionary defines the verb to jockey

deti has been heard about foul riding recently,

When one says at a parson has been jockeyed," says Pearson's Waskly, out of some thing or other, one does pot generally mean that he has been actually swindled or cheated, but rather that he has been the victim of a more or less legitimate sua, trick, or stratagem, The expirienced jocker, seeing that his only chance lies in "bustling the youngster, makes a great pretence of spurting. He works his aims and bands, and vigorously plies his whip and he appears to be riding hard. As a mat ter of fact, he is merò sham, and the "whip never touches the borse, but falls barmlessly po the rider's boot, ».

The young jockey, however, seeing the other but of the corner of his eye apparently siding fall be is worth, plies whip and spur and calls on his m unt for a final effort,' with rei solto n'ready explained and he comes is second fairly, "jockeyed" out of the race.

The late Fred Archer ufian frightened young Jockeys into making way for him when he was "shut in" that is, in the rear of the field with no chance of getting through the leaders except by going round on the outside,

The apprentice, holding perhaps the coveted position wax she tails coming round a corner, would hear a fierce shoot of "Get out of my way, you young varmiot!" and locking round, ho would see the white, set face, starting eyes and bated, prominent teeth of the "Tioman," as the great jockey was called coming, up ba- bind him. The sight and the prestige of tha famous horieman were often too much for the lad's server, and he would pull out of the way, leaving Archer to sweep round on the rails with, as the popular story went, one leg bang- log over them. Anyway, Archer olien "bluff. ed" bis way to victory.
